Olympus has released a firmware update (version 1.1) for the E-30 DSLR.  The firmware update addresses the following issues:

  • Reduced the sound of Image stabilizer operations when IMAGER AF and HYBRID AF are being used.
  • Resolved the issue where pressing the delete button in Close-up playback occasionally caused the Card access lamp to blink.
  • Resolved the issue where images with a changed aspect ratio played back with Index display sometimes had horizontal stripes.

You can download the update here.

Image quality was pleasing both indoors about out. Our outdoor samples show the camera has the ability to capture excellent exposures that show good color balance, and are tac sharp.

DC Resource has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.

Image quality was very good in most respects. The DMC-ZS3 takes well-exposed photos, without a lot of highlight clipping that’s common on compact cameras (you’ll still encounter it, though).
